Overcome

Student F: Docho Roshi, in our practice should we try to overcome our weakness or should we try to work through it?

SR: Why should you overcome? You should try to overcome when there is no big mind or no small mind. -------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki shosan ceremony - 67-12-07 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
